HARRISON
Billion-dollar views.
One hundred eighty degrees of them.
Few people will ever experience the glistening Pacific and boulevards and beaches dotted with palm trees the way I’m seeing them from an exclusive house in the Hills.
But today, they’re not why I’m here.
“So, you totaled the truck,” Jax Jamieson, the biggest rockstar of all time, chastises from his seat on the sofa.
“I didn’t see the tree, Daddy.” Sophie’s plaintive seven-year-old voice comes over the FaceTime call. “Mommy wants to know where you got it so they can fix it.”
“I’ll fix it when I get home.”
“Mommy wants them to fix it.” A coy giggle.
“I’ll fix Mommy.”
There’s no threat in his tone, only the dry admiration of a man for the woman he can’t live without.
I tug on my collar, my attention shifting over the infinity pool and views of Los Angeles through the floor-to-ceiling living room windows. If anyone else were to subject me to this treatment in a business meeting, I’d be out the door.
But this isn’t a typical business meeting. I was halfway through my pitch when the SOS came through from Dallas.
Now, an infant’s wail comes from the bedroom behind us.
“Saved by the grandkid. Tag, you’re it.” Jax rises from his seat and passes me the phone.
That’s how I find myself on a video call with a curious child in what was supposed to be my final meeting of the week.
“Hello, Sophie.”
Golden eyes blink at me from under dark fringe. One cheek is streaked with dirt, the other lightly dusted with freckles. “Who are you?”
Harrison King.
Reformed playboy.
Billionaire nightclub and real estate magnate.
“Harry,” I decide. “We met at Annie and Tyler’s wedding.”
“Are you married?”
“No.”
Sophie frowns. “When will you get married?”
“Soon.”
I think of my fiancée—the beautiful, intelligent, brave woman I adore. Since Raegan and I got engaged this winter, we’ve both been busy. In the interim, there’s a ring on her finger and it’s mine, and that’s enough for both of us.
But we agreed to talk about details after her Vegas residency concludes.
Which it does tonight.
And as soon as this meeting is finished, I’m on a jet from LAX. Her friends are there already, and damned if her fiancé is going to be late.
